This curious cousin of Pinot Blanc is known as Auxerrois specifically in Cleebourg, Northern Alsace. With smaller yields than its more famous relative, the Auxerrois is more precocious, producing wine that is light-bodied and fruity with notes of fresh herbs on the finish.
"Moreish and quirky version of Auxerrois, native to the Alsatian village of Cleebourg."
France is without doubt the world’s supreme wine-producing country, unmatched for the finesse, style and sheer diversity of its wines. France’s revered wine regions form a roll of honour beyond compare. The enduring appeal of France’s classic wine styles turns on the peculiarly French – and often controversial – concept of terroir, the belief in wine with a ‘sense of place’, with flavours and textures.
